Dawn Scargill's stunning contemporary kitchen is the heart of the family home she built from the bones of an old village shop.

Modern kitchen with dark cabinetry, marble countertops, herringbone wooden floor, and elegant lighting

Dawn's kitchen features Naked Kitchen's Shaker and Slab doors in Sandringham Pine green. “Instead of wall cabinets I wanted something contemporary with clean lines, so I went for the full-size ceiling-to-floor cabinets and a floating shelf.”

Dawn opened up the space with huge glazed doors onto the courtyard garden. “The L-shaped kitchen connects with the garden space - there's a real indoor-outdoor vibe with a good flow between the two. The courtyard almost feels like an extension of the kitchen and the green really helps with that.”

“I had a vision of an industrial luxe vibe and dark colours - and the Naked Kitchens Sandringham Pine was exactly what I wanted. I've also used similar greens for the walls so that it all blends together.”

“I wanted a big island which could be like the family heart of the home… It's the place where we can all have breakfast together, where I can cook but also where the boys can come in and do their homework, and we can all spend time together as a family.”
